We've been giving to Field Team 6 since you talked about the organizations you think give us the most bang for the buck several months ago! Thanks for ALL you do!
I suggested in my email to Sen. Hawley, Sen. Schmitt, and Cong. Wagner that they think about how they'd explain their inaction to the victims and their families. Not having to directly confront the results of one's decisions makes it much easier to take the easy wide road, especially when it's paved with donor dollars.
I think you are exactly right...and it goes beyond gun safety. I think every "NO" vote on social support bills can be traced back to the fact that not one of those "NO's" ever has to experience the consequences of denying that assistance.
I really appreciated the quick link for sending emails to my state representative and senators from AZ in support of banning assault weapons and keeping kids safe at school. Am sending it on to others.
You were great. We should all be moved to tears and never get numb to it and use it to motivate us to make the necessary changes to our laws and culture. Thanks for your tireless devotion.
I've been on the American Abroad youtube - www.votefromabroad.org/ - and I've made a donation and posted the link on social media. What an incredible roster of speakers! So compelling as I had no idea of the numbers of eligible voters living, studying, working abroad.
Indivisible explainer is great for Trump’s record on abortion…although people have short attention spans.Many have seen this powerful,1 minute Seneca Project ad.Please keep sharing!📣
Yes! Thanks, Jess! Signed up for Saturday (I'm a romance movie fan, but mostly only the ones with Niall Matter or Brennan Elliott!) and donated to FT6.
I'd love for our community to know that by tomorrow, The One Dem Minute Film Festival will post 30 very short films (finalists out of 300+ entries) we can use as tools to help get out a variety of messages about "Why Democrats?" Onedemminute.com Mine is one of them...yes I'm bragging!
Here it is Friday, September 6 and I'm just now reading yesterday's CWCW, due to my being on the Americans Abroad call up to the end! I was a bit late joining, so was surprised to see you, Jess, as I figured you had already spoken. Anyway, my heart went out to you as you were speaking. Even so, your message was well received.
Many takeaways from that call. My favorite was George Conway's ball cap:
Thank you for your daily newsletter. Please be aware, however, that as a DC resident I HAVE NO REPRESENTATIVES IN THE HOUSE OR SENATE to contact. Perhaps in your daily emails you can remind people that the 700,000 Americans who call DC home have nobody to advocate for us in Congress.
Thank you for all you do and for inspiring us to do more.
So many people don't know that DC doesn't have voting representation in Congress so I find it's so important to always remind people. If the Republicans win, DC will be their laboratory - DC residents will be unable to stop them from overriding the little self determination we have.
So glad I caught your comments on the American Abroad presentation, Jess. You were ON FIRE! I felt you really brought your heart and soul, your passion and political process. Thank you
Floridians,I’m voting NO on Amendment 2 on the ballot in Florida.My concern is that “The Right To Hunt and Fish “is a gateway to defending the use of AR-15’s for other than hunting and fishing. Yes, hard to believe but they are allowed under statute.Firearms is not defined so that loophole has been exploited by AR-15 carrying fisherman.
It feels like we’re losing momentum! I hope we see the surge of Trump support like on Twitter which is all Trump all the time now. It’s a siege! We need another huge boost to overcome Trumps minions.

Agree

Probably haven't even come close.
I read this comment from Jeff Tiedrich's newsletter, "Everybody Is Entitled To My Own Opinion:
“A teenager with a grudge and a weapon is NOT a ‘well-regulated militia."
Perhaps SCOTUS should see it and reverse themselves?
I've thought that for a long time.
I really appreciated the quick link for sending emails to my state representative and senators from AZ in support of banning assault weapons and keeping kids safe at school. Am sending it on to others.
Thank you!
Sent to mine, as well. Thank you!
Jessica, you’re our hero! Thanks!
🤗 thank you
Always feels good to send messages to the Reps and Congressmen, and sign in or up for what I can- thank you for making it possible! 😘
Thanks for taking action, KC!
This Democrat Abroad has been on for the entire four hours and counting. They are clearly saving the heaviest hitters for last!
Hahah this heavy hitter burst into tears…😳😂

Thanks, Terry! And CONGRATULATIONS! So proud of you!
You rock, Terry ! 💙 I was craving a pina colada while watching your video.😂
Thank you Kathy!! A supreme compliment!!!
You should be bragging, yours was a little bit more than just "one of them."
Oh, my, thank you!! Were you there?
No, I heard it after the fact.
Thanks again! It's only taken 79 years for me to finally agree that I'm good at this!!!!
Ok, that gives me some hope. I have 5 years to practice.
Brava, Terry! You are great!

Can someone please help explain how to navigate through the free link Jess mentioned to watch Dr. Lichtman's predictions? Thank you!

Thank you so much! Your daily newsletter is so inspiring. My daily call-to-actions from them keep me so motivated. Brava, brava to you!

Thank you for all you do and for inspiring us to do more.
Oh, I'm well aware! Thanks for the reminder, though!
When we have a big enough Dem majority DC statehood will be at the top of my action list!
So many people don't know that DC doesn't have voting representation in Congress so I find it's so important to always remind people. If the Republicans win, DC will be their laboratory - DC residents will be unable to stop them from overriding the little self determination we have.
I have the same frustration, which is why I'm happy I can write post cards and make calls in other states!
So glad I caught your comments on the American Abroad presentation, Jess. You were ON FIRE! I felt you really brought your heart and soul, your passion and political process. Thank you
Aw thank you!
